Catch Active Living at IHRSA 2005 and the Art and Science of Health Promotion Conference

Don’t miss presentations from ALP staff and authors, a book signing by Healthy Eating Every Day author Ruth Ann Carpenter, and a drawing for free products at a joint conference and trade show for two major health promotion organizations coming up in March. The 15th Annual Art and Science of Health Promotion Conference, presented by the American Journal of Health Promotion, teams up this year with Get Active IHRSA 2005. The international conference and trade show bring together health and fitness professionals from around the world March 16 to 19, 2005, in San Francisco. Active Living Partners will be there to highlight what’s new and help you promote healthy lifestyles.

Ruth Ann Carpenter, MS, RD, LD, an author of Active Living Every Day and coauthor of the newly released Healthy Eating Every Day, will present “The Whole (Diet) Truth About Healthy Eating” on Wednesday, March 16 at 4:45 pm. Immediately after, she’ll sign copies of Healthy Eating Every Day at the Human Kinetics/Active Living Partners booth located near the conference registration area.

Addressing two issues that affect most health and fitness organizations, Michele Guerra, MS, CHES, director of Active Living Partners, will offer sessions on how to increase member retention, and she’ll offer effective strategies to maximize corporate relationships:
